Clever Churchgoers Avoid Arrest By Disguising Themselves As Rioters

LOS ANGELES, CA—Religious people in Southern California have found a bold, creative solution for in-person meetings in spite of the continuing lockdown. This past weekend, several area churches attended church services disguised as righteously indignant rioters.

"We already have the righteous indignation thing down," said one church elder. "Now, we've simply added black balaclavas, hoodies, Guy Fawkes masks, and baseball bats! We found that when we do this, we can meet in large groups without much interference from the local authorities. It's been a delightful experience."

Leaders from Spirit-River In The City Church in LA County are reporting a successful Sunday service after using this method. Churchgoers were given bricks and fake Molotov cocktails before they surrounded the church with menacing looks on their faces. Several deacons then smashed some church windows to make the riot look more realistic. Unfortunately, onlookers grew suspicious when the massive group of rioters broke out into a round of the smash-hit worship song "Reckless Life Engulfment." Some of the attendees were forced to stage brawls in order to keep up appearances.

According to sources, some churchgoers in the area are planning to continue wearing masks to church even after the lockdown has ended in order to hide their identities from Hollywood directors and producers.

This only illustrates the entirety of the problems we face are caused by and the result of too much government.

Government issued the lockdowns

Government crashed the economy

Government spread the lies about masks and this virus

Government murdered the victim that triggered the protests.

Government arrested mothers trying to feed their kids by running their legal business and arrested fathers minding their own business playing ball with their kids.

Government violated their own edicts handing out tickets to churchgoers sitting in their cars

Government released violent criminals onto the streets by the hundreds to protect them from a virus yet left our cities to burn and be looted during the recent riots.

Does that about sum it up? Is it just me or is there a pattern here?

I think a very wise man once said.

Government isn't the solution to the problem. Government is the problem.
